UK again Pah!..
My neck/back/shoulders are shot and right now my view is the 450X is really not helping so I have a dilemma, I want to get as much fun as possible out of the bike but get rid before I can no longer get out of the bath on my own :(

So when is the best time to get rid of a 450 in factory colours and never been dropped? Is it now, the end of this year or maybe March 2009?

So very soon......................you suprise me

However when i rode one for an hour, I too thought.............I couldn't live with this (except on an enduro course)
 
Sh1t, what a shame. Really sorry you are gonna have to get shot :(

Personally I'd have thought Spring would be best but I'm probably not the best person to ask when it comes to buying and selling bikes :mmmm

Now, enduro season aint summer time......
And the best trail riding is done now too, whilst most of the rambliars aren't about.
Get it advertised...........

It is a great bike, really good fun and very hard to fault. It is around 25 hours now so I know what to expect and it mostly does as I ask.

I am looking forward to a good thrash around the island at the end of the month, the Cooper rack is nailed to the back of the car and all I need do is pack a large handful of super strong Ipobrufen and some red wine for the evenings, the problem is I soo hurt after a ride on it. I am really gutted, at 51 years old I expect a lot more from my body :(

Even bigger problem now is if it goes what do I replace it with :nenau

Try backing all the suspension off, like back to zero damping and wind is it to the softest position.
The damping is set from factory way to hard.
I did struggle at first with my 450X but a little tweeking has brought it in to my riding requirements. I've just checked the front comp and it's only 3 clicks in. Nice and soft.
The rear preload has ben reduced so the spring is now just tight in the collets, but not rattling loose. It's a lot better for me that way.

And true enough, wtf do you replace it with...... it will be heavier if not a 2T.
